Besses Boys MD Tom Ridgley Conducts the first North Manchester Youth Band rehearsal at Middleton Youth Bands band room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt this contest, Youth Bands from all over Britain will be competing in different sections in order to present their hard work to an appreciative audience of peers and supporters.<\/p>\n
As self-financing local Youth Bands, both organisations are independently currently much smaller in number than the bands of 30 plus players we would be competing against. With this in mind the two bands have collaborated to unite the two youth bands to form \u201cThe North Manchester Youth Band\u201d for this contest and, depending on the success, other contests in future.<\/p>\n
These are exciting times and both bands are delighted to be working together to give as many young musicians as possible the opportunity to enter a contest that they would not otherwise be going to.<\/p>\n
